​
I genuinely love reading and over the past couple of years I have built a pretty solid collection of books. The problem is, I am currently living in a rented apartment in Bangalore and space is becoming a real issue. Books just keep piling up and it is starting to feel a bit overwhelming.
I don’t want to stop buying or reading, but I also don’t want to hoard everything forever. Ideally, I would love some way to either resell them or exchange them for other books. I checked a few options but nothing seems very active or convenient.
Also, I prefer reading physical books. I don’t enjoy Kindle or digital formats as much. Holding an actual book just feels like a much better experience for me.
So I wanted to ask here:
* What do you guys usually do with books once you are done reading?
* Are there any good platforms or communities in India where book exchange or resale actually works?
* Has anyone tried any offline options in Bangalore like book clubs or local stores that take used books?
I would prefer something simple and sustainable instead of just letting them collect dust. Open to any ideas or hacks that have worked for you.
Thanks in advance!
